How did we find out the truth?: The claim also carries a website 'India Today' but it directs the user to a different hoax website.

• It is advised for the viewers to not open such links.

• We noticed that his jaw was moving very unnaturally which indicated manipulation.

• We also noticed that at 1:08 timestamp, he identifies himself as Manhoman Singh.

What did the AI-detection tools say?: We shared the video with ConTrails AI, a Bangalore-based startup, that has its own AI tools for detection of audio and video spoofs, for an analysis of the audio part of the claim.

• Their analysis stated that the video frames of this viral clip appear to have lip-synced AI manipulation.

• Their tool generated a report and concluded that both the video and audio are manipulated in this clip.

It also generated a graph which consistently showed values specifically indicating audio manipulation.

TrueMedia's AI detection tool also detected a substantial amount of audio manipulation in the viral video.

The analysis returned with 100% confidence is audio manipulation.

Where's the original video from?: After conducting a reverse image search on some of the viral video's keyframes, we came across the original video shared by Adani Group on X (formerly Twitter).

• This was shared on 2 February 2023 and the audio did not match with the audio added on the deepfake version.

• In this original video, he discusses a Rs 20,000-crore follow-on public offering (FPO) that his firm called off in February 2023.
